The Detroit Tigers have seven players who will be free agents this offseason. Which ones will stay? Which ones will go?

Let's take a look at them one at a time. Here they are, listed in order based on their salary during the 2013 season:

Jhonny Peralta ($6 million): Peralta produced offensively at shortstop before being suspended for 50 games. With Jose Iglesias in the fold as the shortstop of the future, it seems extremely unlikely that Peralta will re-sign with the Tigers.

Prediction: Peralta will sign a multi-year deal elsewhere as a shortstop or third baseman.

Joaquin Benoit ($5.5 million): Benoit was the most consistent and valuable member of the bullpen. The Tigers have bullpen issues, so they certainly want him back. But the big question is, what will Benoit, 36, want in a new contract? A three-year deal? Closer money? This will be an interesting situation.

Prediction: Kind of lost on this one. Benoit might see this as his last chance to sign a big contract. There's a good chance someone will outbid the Tigers for him. It wouldn't be a surprise if he stayed. It wouldn't be a surprise if he left.

Omar Infante ($4 million): The Tigers could extend a qualifying offer to Infante, but do they really want to pay him about $14 million next season? Think not. This situation is a lot like Benoit's. Infante hit .318 in 2013. The market for second basemen is thin. Someone could step forward and pay him more than the Tigers want to.

Prediction: It seem unlikely that the Tigers will keep Benoit and Infante if they keep Max Scherzer and Rick Porcello, who are both eligible for arbitration. The Tigers likely want Infante back. But will they be outbid? Can they afford to keep everyone? Sorry, no straight prediction on Infante. It depends too much on the other guys. It seems likely the Tigers will keep, at most, three of the four players listed in this paragraph.

Octavio Dotel ($3.5 million): The Tigers expected to rely heavily on Dotel in 2013, but an elbow injury knocked him out of action for all but the first couple weeks of the season. He will be 40 next month.

Prediction: Dotel will retire.

Ramon Santiago ($2.1 million): Santiago got off to a slow start in 2013 but bounced back to have a decent season. The Tigers have other internal options who they can pay the league minimum (Hernan Perez, Danny Worth).

Prediction: The Tigers will not strongly pursue Santiago, who will sign elsewhere.

Brayan Pena ($875,000): Pena hit better than the Tigers expected him to, although he hit much better as a left-handed hitter, which makes his pairing with Alex Avila a bit odd. The Tigers could re-sign Pena or go with rookie Bryan Holaday as their backup in 2014.

Prediction: The Tigers will try to re-sign Pena but won't be willing to offer him a very big raise.

Jeremy Bonderman: Bonderman pitched well at times out of the bullpen but was clearly not a part of the postseason plans for the Tigers, even after the Tigers knew Bruce Rondon and Phil Coke wouldn't be ready for the Division Series.

Prediction: The Tigers will remove him from their 40-man roster soon. He will get a minor-league contract and an invitation to spring training from someone, possibly the Tigers.
